Food, Wine, Family. Fun!
Whew, what a week! We've been running around like crazy and these are the times I have meals prepped and ready to make. I found this recipe while looking through some old pins on Pinterest and thought it would be a meal that everyone would enjoy...wrong. My little guy wanted no part of it, oh… Continue reading Sun Dried Tomato Meatball Sandwich
It's feeling like fall today - with temperatures barely in the 60s and the leaves are really starting to change colors. While I really love this season, there's been no transition from summer to fall. I made this soup last week when it was still warm, but I'm wishing I had made it again this… Continue reading Chicken Bacon & Wild Rice Soup
It's the first Thursday of the month and that means - cookie time! This month's theme for the Fill the Cookie Jar Group is Halloween/Pumpkin. I decided to go with a Halloween themed cookie this month and saved pumpkin for an option for next month. I'm behind on decorating, getting the kids costumes and looking… Continue reading Candy Corn Swirl Cookies – #Fillthecookiejar
It's Fall!!! My favorite time of the year - crisp air, sweaters, boots, pumpkin, apples, snuggling - there's just so much I love. I can't wait to go apple picking (lots of recipes I want to make) and take the kids to the pumpkin patch. The leaves are starting to change color and it's just… Continue reading Baked Apple Pie Donuts
It's the second Monday of the month and you know what that means!!! It's Secret Recipe Club reveal day for my group. This month I was assigned, The Tasty Cheapskate - where tasty and cheap eat together. Jean has a great concept for her blog, eating delicious foods for cheap. All of her posts have… Continue reading Orange Pull Apart Bread – The Secret Recipe Club
I've mentioned before how I'm in the process of eliminating as many processed foods as I can from our house and the stars aligned when my copy of Lisa Leake's 100 Days of Real Food Cookbook arrived on my door step! You might have heard of Lisa before through her blog, along with her husband… Continue reading Cookbook Review: 100 Days of Real Food
I'm excited for this month's Fill the Cookie Jar reveal! This month's theme was Fall and it gave me so many options to choose from. My sister in law gave me a copy of The Beekman 1802 Heirloom Dessert Cookbook and I knew it was a great place to start looking for a recipe. The… Continue reading Oatmeal Cream Pies with Maple Cream – #FilltheCookieJar
I'm slowly in the process of eliminating as much processed food as I can from our kitchen and this was a big step for me to replace my store-bought coffee creamer. I didn't realize how simple and easy it was to make and I can't wait to try out different flavors - almond, caramel, pumpkin… Continue reading Honey Vanilla Coffee Creamer
As I mentioned, we have been overwhelmed with tomatoes and this was another one of the recipes I made to use up more of them. My garden is really slowing down now with the cooler nights we've been having. My cucumbers are done and I'll only have four cucumbers left to make one last batch… Continue reading Corn, Tomato and Cheddar Pie
This year my garden has been a little off. I'm getting a bumper crop of peppers, all my tomatoes ripened at the same time (even though some were supposed to be ready in early July), and my parsley and basil didn't do well. I'm blaming it on the weather, lack of rain, and this is… Continue reading Gazpacho with Basil Cornbread Croutons
